Brassica oleracea
Lot# BO23600
Di Cicco Broccoli is an old Italian Heirloom broccoli that dates back to 1890. It grows to an average height of 61-91 cm, (24-36") with a spread that is 30 cm (12") wide. It is an excellent choice for extended harvests for home gardeners. The plants yield a vigorous supply of 7-11 cm, (3-4") clusters of blue-green heads. After cutting the main head, more side shoots develop, producing many more small to medium-sized heads throughout the summer.

Additional Information
Continue the watering schedule to keep the soil moist during the growing season, but cut back on watering as the broccoli reaches maturity in 48 to 70 days. Harvest the main broccoli head when it’s 7.6 cm (3") in diameter to encourage more side florets. Cut the head with about 10 cm (4") of stalk. New flower heads will soon form in the leaf axils and all around the lower stalk. These will be much smaller than the initial head, but keep harvesting and they will keep producing. Water the ground under the plants and not the broccoli itself to make it less susceptible to soil-borne diseases. |
